Having worked as an IT consultant, I cannot show my impact in terms of numerical values(dollar value of profit generated/ dollar value of a market I helped t capture, etc.) I have led projects where we had to assess company risks for their ERP platform and implement controls to remediate/mitigate risks. I have also led projects where we had to implement the security architecture of the client's ERP platform. Anything that I want to put in my work experience seems like "job responsibilities" instead of "impact I had in my job".
My question is: how do people who have worked in the IT domain and cannot show their impact in terms of dollar value go on about building their resume which showcases their impact instead of just stating out their job responsibilities?

I wrote on this topic very briefly sometime back. You can read it here
Struggling to convey the impact on MBA resume?
As an IT professional working on the security architecture, your mindset should revolve around comprehending how your work has contributed to:
A) Benefiting your client (quantify aspects such as manpower/time saved, cost optimization, etc.)
B) Advancing your employer's interests (consider the ripple effect, such as acquiring more clients, increased business opportunities, additional work, and enhanced prestige).
The above can be quantified with estimates (you may need some guidance from an expert).
Best wishes

sayanghosh48,
Having helped 100+ clients from IT consulting, including the likes of hardcore IT like TCS & IBM, or Management consulting but in the IT domain, I can safely say from experience the dollar value of your work is not only possible, but also not so difficult to get. To this extent, I think the previous post-er has shown a good resume sample bullet.
Importantly however, it is not just the dollar values, but also traits like collaboration, Impact, leadership etc that should also come across from a powerful resume. Such a powerful resume can help you in your admits, as also in a higher likelihood to merit scholarships. Deeper introspection and calculation definitely needed to bring out the resume well. Hope that helps
